Abstract :After Veblen’s work, Theory of Leisure Class insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1899);, “leisure” has become critically important to observe as a sociological phenomenon. However, increasing importance of consumption patterns in our global world has inevitably gathered concepts of “leisure” and “consumption” together. For this reason, Leisure and Consumption written by Robert Stebbins is a remarkable work while it argues problematic of unconsciously thinking about “leisure” and “consumption” as essentially similar processes. The author also questions the degree of sufficiency of literature about leisure discussions.
